He practiced buddhamanasikāra using small beans to keep count, filling thirty-six piculs. After a vegetarian feast, in celebration he distributed the beans among the attendees of the feast. Avalokiteśvara and Mahāsthāmaprāpta, appearing emaciated in form, came in person and said, 'We beg for food.' He answered, saying: 'This disciple vows to be reborn in the Western Land, and there are no other obstacles. That the masters have come begging for food deeply arouses my original resolve.' After they ate, only a miraculous fragrance was smelled, and riding into the sky, they departed all at once. It was the ninth month of the eighth year of Kaihuang. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.76) - [Next: 1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.78) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070~en-mt.1.77) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.77) · Pramāṇa
